Common Myths About Electronic Cigarettes

Last updated Aug 8, 2018

Electronic Cigarettes have been around for several years and are still making headlines in regards to the health industry as well as the tobacco industry. Chances are, even if you have never smoked in your life, you have heard of electronic cigarettes and the many benefits that they can provide. You may have also heard some of the common myths that are associated with this revolutionary product.

There are many misconceptions about e-cigarettes, what they do and what they can not do; here are a few facts about the popular smoking product. If you are considering switching from traditional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes, you should read this information so that you will be able to make a well-informed decision.

Myth: E-Cigarettes Will Be Illegal to Buy

This is not necessarily true. In some parts of the world, the electronic cigarette has been banned, and other major countries and cities have tried to ban them, but in the United States, e-cigarettes are very legal and as they become a more popular, mainstream item, it is highly unlikely that they will ever be considered an illegal product.

Myth: Electronic Cigarettes are More Dangerous than Tobacco Cigarettes

This myth has come about because many people say that the ingredients inside the electronic cigarette cartridges are a mystery. However if you are dealing with a reliable company, they will always disclose the ingredients with their customers, so that you will know exactly what you are putting into your body. If you do your own research on the ingredients in the nicotine solution, you will know exactly what you are inhaling. And while e-cigarettes do still contain nicotine, they do not contain all the harmful additives, such as smoke and chemicals, which can be just as harmful as nicotine itself.

Myth: E-Cigarettes are More Expensive

This again, only depends on the brand that you purchase. In general, most electronic cigarettes are around the same price or less than traditional cigarettes. When you consider that the devices are rechargeable, and each cartridge generally lasts as long as one and a half packs of traditional cigarettes, you could very easily save money by switching to the electronic version.

Myth: Most Smokers do not like the E-cigarette smoking experience

While it is impossible to please everyone, electronic cigarettes have been doing very well over the past few years and continue to gain loyal customers and the products improve. There are many positive customer reviews online for the top e-cigarette brands as well as the lesser-known brands. Of course, it may take some time for someone to get used to the new technique, but the majority of e-smokers seem to enjoy the benefits that are associated with this revolutionary device.
